	Athena Review Image Archive: Hadrian's Wall at Milecastle 42, Cawfields
		Hadrian's Wall, built across north Britain between AD 120 and 130, had a system of small forts called milecastles placed every mile along its entire length (80 Roman miles or 73.5 modern miles), with towers or turrets every 1/3 mile.
		Except for a few decades in the mid 2nd century when the Antonine Wall was built in Scotland, Hadrian's Wall formed the Empire's northernmost frontier.
		This view shows the remains of Milecastle 42 at Cawfields, where a detachment of Roman soldiers overlooked the mostly unconquered terrain to the north.

		Milecastle 48, one of the milecastles on Hadrian's Wall, is situated in the village of Gilsland in Cumbria immediately adjacent to the Tyne Valley Line (OS grid reference NY 634 661).

		The distinguishing feature of this milecastle is the stair base in the north-east corner, since the first few steps survive, allowing a wall walk height of 3.6m to be projected, suggesting a height for the curtain wall (including parapet) of 4.6m.

		Stone foundations, interpreted as part of a milecastle on Hadrian's Wall, were uncovered in 1985 during the conversion into the Newcastle Arts Centre of 67-75 Westgate Road (NZ24526401).
		The evidence for the milecastle consisted of a flagged foundation course 2.90m wide, a fair stretch of the first ashlar course and fragmentary remains of the core of the second, which together formed most of the south-west corner of the structure.
		The footings of the south wall extended 6m eastwards from the angle to end in a straight edge against a spread of smaller stones, which perhaps marked the position of the south gate.

		Between the milecastles were two turrets at regular intervals from which soldiers could keep watch over the surrounding countryside.
		To the north of the Wall was a v-shaped deep defensive ditch.
